I'll give that a try when my build host is done with its current tasks.

The hope was to emulate a bigger, faster machine than I physically have.
I have 2 real SS-5/110 systems w/256MB each (and 2 real SS-20s with
448MB plus 4MB VSIMM each--one with dual SM-61s and the other with a
single dual-CPU ROSS HyperSPARC module at 125MHz.  I just have nowhere
to get the SS-20s out and set them up (plus power/heat issues)).

My disk image is 9.1GB and partition "b" is configured as swap.  Is there
advantage to using a separate disk (image) for swap?
